life mamma, and Just as soon as you gave
me those scraps yesterday l went into the
other room and got down
ON MY KNEES
and prayed the best I could. oh! Gcd, make
me like mamma Ihad rather be like mamma
than any body in the world" And the mother
said: Mamma is not good but she wants her
daughter to be good" Next day little Mary
walks back again and says: "Mamma lend
| me your thimble." ''There 1t is, my darling,
but shall want 1t again directly. Mother
thought when she went down the street TO
buy you one TO fit your finger Now sit down
ana do not lose mammals thimble' Little
Mary sat down and after while gave the
thimble back TO mamma and said: Mamma,
you are the best mamma little girl
| ever had in the world. ! heard Mrs.
Smith talking mighty bad 10 little Annie the
| other day, and was so glad that she was not
| my mamma." Next day little Mary comes
back and says: Mamma, let me have your
| scissors" and the mother says "Hes, Will
give them 10 you, darling, as soon as am
through with them. viii you go into the
closet with mamma and kneel down and pray!'
"Yes, mamma" Mamma took her hand, went
in and shut the door, and just as they shut
| the door Imagine q thousand disappointed
angels were shut out on the other side that
wanted to get in there and see what
God was going 10 do Tor motner
and little Mary. And by and
| by they came out again, and tear that
rolling down little Marys face, ana an angel
! pushed his hand under the tear and caught 1t
and it cryStaliZed and then he winged his way
back to God, and called all the heavenly host
to witness: Here is the tear OF the little
girl that a mother is training for the world
up here" Mary gets to be Is years old; the
pride OF mothers heart and Il blessing to all
the community; crowning virtue IN
all the land, ana people wonder anu
say what sweet delightful girl;

the other girls. Listen, she is a cdip of the
old block. as the saying is; 4 daughter just
| like her mother. Mother, you can use your
hand to slap with and use the switch TO whip
with, but ] tell you there is more IN inns
thing we call '.knee work. than anything
else in the world Prayer. prayer. remem-
Der this little incident in my own house l
walked in home one day and just as walked
in wife and the two little girls were crossing
from the paror into the sitting room. L
walked into the sitting room and they were
ALL THREE CRYING.
l said what in the world is the matter;
never saw the like in my life? and wife could
not speak nor the little girls, ,and directly they
| got quiet and walked out, and my wife sdld:
"You know Mary and Annie disagree some
| times and have whipped them time or TWO
about it, and said, ''children, mother CALI
not whip it out of you; let's go into the par
! lor and kneel down and tell God all about 1t.
| tell you she made an impression on those
| girls that day that all the switches could not
have done. And mothers,if you want to man
age your girls take them out and pray with
them occasionally. Oh, my Father Ill heaven,
how bless the day and bless Thee forever
| for precious mother, who taught me the
way to God until she left this earth to make
| her home with God. l believe this much, If
my mother had lived l never would have
| taken single step in the wrong direction.
| God forgive me for SHINING against precious
mothers love and memory. Mothers, moth
ers, mothers give yourselves to God and live
for Him and teach your children the same
great principle. want 10 say just few
words to you, wives. And now,
wife, for thee shall a man forsake
father and mother and all other relations of
| life and this twain shall be one, and God who
| hath Joined together, let no man put aSunder.
| There is no relation this side of heaven that
is so sacred as the relation Of man and wife.
| ! can stand any kind of a wife better than
can stand the wife that will sit down in the
absence of her husband and let any human
| being say aught against that husband" L
will send for husband and when he comes you
may say anything you please, but my hus-
bands character is as sacred to me
as God" There is many an old
mother-in-lsw that has kicked up
the devil right along on that line. There is
many good mother-in-law. L have got
good one. But when you get hold of bad
! one N.Y. my, my. An old meddesome crea-
ture, she wont go to her sou-in-law, but sets
| his wife on him: ''he don't do right in this
| and that 1 tell you, my sister. as Gods my
| judge-listen-the most sacred relationship
| of life ought never to be inJerfered with by
third party. Brother Small said divorce
courts and laws had their
ORIGIN IN HE'LL,
| and believeit. Sister, if you have bad bar
! gain you stick to the title and die by the bar
gain. Sister, be careful how you marry. Be
not unevenly yoked together. But if once
| the bargain is made stick to it and die by 1t.
| That my doctrine. There is many pure,
good, noble woman that has a very brute for
her husband. There is many sweet-spirited,
good clever, honest fellow that is trying to
drown his troubles at home in liquor from day
10 day. Law. my sister, if your home'is not
more charming than gambling hell or a bar
! room, you are in bad fix. When you
make home what it ought to be, your husband
will stay there or be is dog. You can take
| either horn OF the dilemma. There is many
| woman that lives so that her husband cannot
| love her and then quarrelS with him because
he does not. And you sit out there and look
just as innocent as it all that you lacked was
wings, and 1 expect some of you had a big
quarrel with your husband before breakfast
! this morning. Sister, it is a wife's place,
first and always and forever, to make her
| home the most sacred the most
lovable and most pleasant place this
side OF heaven. Oh how I do
| pity a man that has got disagreeahle woman
for wife, and instead of getting better she
gets worse-an old, moping, sad, dsagreeable
woman. Well, you say (whining), ''if your
| health was as bad us mine" Good Lord have
mercy on you.s God knows, if you feel as
| bad us you look sometimes he ought to re-
member you. Sisters, sympathize with you
to the very depth of my heart in all your suf-
ferings and cares: but let's carry the spirit
and pleasantness, because there is so much
! at stake. 1t takes true hero 10 carry
pleasant face and cheerful heart through
| suffering hpc
bands the other night, and sister hit them
ten licks whore am hitting you one. But at
the same time you need tapping up yourself
light smart. If a woman just had as much of
THE LovABLE SPIRIT
about her as she has got curiosity, she would
be an angel. Just look at them here this
afternoon, and more than half came through
downright curiosity. Sister, the crowning
virtue OF wife's heart is love, love love- 1t
is the most omnipotent weapon that was ever
drawn. That was Christ's weapon. When
ever you raise q quarrel your husband can
quarre; ahd often he can beat you;
but when you pull out the weapon of love
and begin to wipe the tears out of your
eyes he is done for. And he will just do
anything. 'If your enemy hunger, feed
him; If he thirst, give him drink" Let love
| do something for you and in so doing you will
heap Goals on his head l give you this Incl
dent of what ! consider model wife, The
wife Of gambler. She did all she could to
save him and finally when all means failed,
she said, love him with all my heart and j.

to herself if he is lost at
last and must be, am going to make this
world as near like heaven as can He shall
be in heaven some hours. some days before

gambler said to his gambling friends, 1 am
